The predecessor who was scumbag by me was the emperor

The news that Shen Jia was transferred out of the capital further confirmed the credibility of his falling out of favor. It's just that he is still a high-ranking second-rank official after leaving the capital. When the emperor calms down, he may be able to rise one more when he comes back in a few years. , is still a good young man with a bright future, so no one dares to embarrass Shen Jia face to face.

The Shen family's first reaction after hearing the news was that the young couple had a quarrel, and they were impatient. Fortunately, Shen Jia asked someone to bring the message back, telling them to be calm, and it was their own idea to let it go, not forced.

If so, Shen's father and Shen's mother still went to Yiyuan to question the two people face to face, even if they want to let them go, it's not good where to go, why do they have to go to the end of the world?

Shen Jia will take up the post after handing over the affairs of the Ministry of Industry, and the business district has not yet been completed, so it will take at least June to start.

The atmosphere in the yamen of the Ministry of Industry was weird. Seeing Chen Shilang, he couldn't help congratulating him, but he didn't dare to flatter him too much, lest he hurt another servant's heart.

When I saw Shen Shilang, I didn't know whether to congratulate or sympathize. Being promoted is a happy event, but being sent to the farthest south is not a happy event, so I can only vaguely wish Mr. Shen a smooth journey and an early return.

Chen Mian and Shen Jia entered the same room, the smiles on their faces changed into embarrassment, and they asked uneasily, "Master Shen, what's going on? How come it's so good..."

Shen Jia stopped him and explained: "Master Chen, don't worry, he never said before that I will take over the post of Minister of the Ministry of Industry. Now such an arrangement is the best."

Chen Mian rubbed his hands, and asked anxiously: "But you are obviously the person Qiao Shangshu prefers, this is too sudden, I am not prepared at all."

"Master Chen just needs to maintain his heart as always, no matter what position he is in, he can sit securely. The affairs of the Ministry of Industry are complicated. I have summed up some experience during this period, so I can use it as a reference for Master Chen." Shen Jia knew Zhao Zhang couldn't choose a better person to take over the Ministry of Industry for a while, and Chen Mian was a rush to get on the shelves, but Chen Mian didn't care about fame and fortune, and was reliable. He might not be able to make great achievements, but he would not make big mistakes either.

When Chen Mian heard this, he smiled happily and thanked him frequently. Anyone who has worked with Shen Jia knows that he is very well-planned and well-organized, and the affairs of his subordinates are also clearly arranged, with clear responsibilities. This is what he has always wanted to learn .

"To tell you the truth, Mr. Shen is about the same size as my children, but his ability is definitely not comparable to that of his peers. No matter why you let it out, you will definitely become a great hero in the future, compared with those of us who can only play tricks on eloquence. Officials are different."

"Thank you for the praise, my lord. The externalization is what I asked for. To govern the country, you must first understand the country. The people are the cornerstone of the country. Only when you go outside can you understand their needs more deeply. My ambition is the same as that of the adults. We all hope to see Dajin getting better and better."

Chen Mian said emotionally: "With a young man like Mr. Shen in the Jin Dynasty, the country will be rich and the people strong in the future, and the prosperous scene of all nations coming to court will be reproduced."

The two complimented each other a few words, and there was no lack of flattery in their sincere feelings. When Shen Jia walked out of the Ministry of Industry, it would be best for the two of them to stand on a united front. There was no reason to turn friends into enemies.

Shen Jia brought up the matter for Qiao Shangshu again, and Chen Mian agreed immediately, and he was supposed to invite him for the meal, so he immediately took over the matter.

Shen Jia was relieved, before parting, he still had a lot of things to arrange, and he wanted to hurry up to spend time with his lover and family, and he didn't want to waste even a quarter of an hour.

Many people came to the yamen one after another. Xu Ran and other close subordinates were the first to rush back. Some expressed that they would be released with him, while others expressed anxiety. reuse.

Shen Jia used to be the head of the Ministry of Industry, and the officials he used would be the objects of praise, with a bright future, but now that the Ministry of Industry has changed hands, they have to think carefully about where to go.

Xu Ran said firmly: "I don't care, I will go wherever my lord goes. Guangdong and Guangxi are also very good. I have never been to such a distant place since I was born. It is good to go out for a walk."

Shen Jia shook her head: "Compared to that place, you are needed here more, and your talents are more suitable for staying in the Ministry of Industry. Don't worry, Mr. Chen is very kind. As long as you do your job well, he will not make things difficult for you."

"The subordinates are not afraid of this, but they just don't want to leave you, my lord." Xu Ran was single-handedly pulled up by Shen Jia, and he has a fledgling affection for him, the two are both teachers and friends, he really doesn't want to be separated from Shen Jia.

"You have to help me watch the north of the city. I will leave when the sign is listed there, and I will leave the rest to you."

"This... the subordinates are afraid that they won't do well."

"You are really not very good at economics. Fortunately, I have chosen a partner for you. Then you can work hard together. I hope that when I return in a few years, I can see the prosperity of Chang'an City."

"Partner? Who is it?"

"You will know tomorrow." Shen Jia had settled the relationships around her before returning to the mansion. The one who returned was the Shen mansion. The whole family was eagerly waiting for him to explain himself.

Zhao Zhang came earlier than him, and was playing chess with Shen's father, but both of them had a long face, and the atmosphere was very stagnant.

"It's already ordered, don't you want to start dinner?" Shen Jia walked in and stood far away, smiling flatteringly at the two of them.

Mother Shen came in with a fan, twisted his ears and asked, "You idiot, how dare you go to such a far place without telling the whole family, what do you think?"

"Cough cough!" Zhao Zhang coughed, looked into Shen Jia's ear distressedly, and admitted: "Mother, it's my idea to go to Guangdong and Guangxi. If you want to scold me, scold me."

Shen's mother paused, the anger on her face disappeared, she put down her hands in embarrassment and said: "That's right, there must be a reason, I don't understand state affairs, you can discuss it yourself." What she was most afraid of If Shen Jia and Zhao Zhang separated because of conflicts, Shen Jia's future and life would be in jeopardy.

Shen Jia immediately said: "My son also agrees. Guangdong and Guangxi are located in a remote place and have not yet been fully developed, but it is actually a good place. If it is well managed, it will not only become the granary of Jin Dynasty, but also the most important port and commercial market. , Others can do these things, but not as fast as me.”

"Then let's go with you as a family, the sky is high and the road is far away, you can't walk alone?" Mother Shen asked distressedly.

"No, father and mother are getting old, and it's not easy to travel long distances. The third sister and two children also need you to take care of them. I don't worry if you stay in the capital. You and the elders are at ease. Since the emperor wants to use me, how can I be less Follower?" He winked at Zhao Zhang, and the latter nodded, "Of course it's well arranged, and it's safe and sound, the elders don't worry."

Father Shen threw down the chess pieces and said: "You are the ones to decide the important affairs of the court. How many officials have spent their whole lives traveling around. Shen Jia is still young. There is nothing wrong with going out to practice and practice. It's just that I don't know when I will return." In my heart, I hope that Shen Jia can return to the right path from now on. If this separation can make the relationship between the two of them fade away and the woman will be accepted again, why not marry a wife and have children in the future?

It's just that he definitely can't say this, it can only be left to time to choose.

In the middle of the night, Shen Jia and Zhao Zhang went out of the house together, and the carriage drove halfway around Chang'an City and stopped outside an alley.

Shen Jia didn't know what kind of medicine Zhao Zhang sold in the gourd, and he didn't go home or return to the palace in the middle of the night, saying that he was taking him out to see and see, and then came to this place.

"Where is this?"

"Get out of the car, you still have to walk a few more steps." Zhao Zhang took his hand and got out of the car. In front of him was a dark alley where he couldn't see his fingers. It wasn't until the guards opened the way with lanterns that Shen Jia could clearly see the faces of the houses on both sides. , is a residential house full of life.

"Could it be that you are hiding in the golden house here?" Shen Jia joked.

"I only hide my beauty in a golden house in one place." Zhao Zhang squinted at him and led him into the alley.

Walking inside, Shen Jia found that they were not the only people here, the whole alley was surrounded by Jinyiwei, and there were even Jinyiwei standing in front of one of the houses.

"Is the person still inside?" Zhao Zhang asked Lu Zhen who was guarding the door.

After saluting, Lu Qianhu stood up and said, "He's still there, and almost all of his people have been arrested, and they're temporarily being detained in the courtyard next door."

"Well, withdraw some people. I will talk to him. Also, other people's news will be leaked."

"Yes."

"Let's go." Zhao Zhang took Shen Jia inside, and at a glance he saw the man sitting in the yard admiring the moon. It was Shi Yue, the new champion of this year.

Shen Jia was not surprised at all, he knew that Zhao Zhang had been sending people to check on Shi Yue, and obviously now was the time to close the net.

The door was closed, and the guards outside also retreated partly. Shen Jia walked up to Shi Yue and sat down, looked up at the sky, and said softly, "The moonlight is beautiful tonight."

"The moon here is not as beautiful as the one on the grasslands, nor on the high mountains, nor even in the countryside. It is not beautiful." Shi Yue said without turning his head.

"So do you like it here?"

Shi Yue turned his head back, turned his eyes from him to Zhao Zhang, and suddenly smiled inexplicably, "Lord Qiao told me that if you want to gain the trust of the emperor, you must first befriend Lord Shen. At first I thought this was exaggerated, but now It seems that what he said was still too cryptic." On such an important occasion, the emperor brought Shen Jia here, which shows that he has no ordinary trust and love for him.

Zhao Zhang stood opposite him, frowning, "Don't blame Shen Jia."

Shi Yue glanced at him, and asked in a broken jar, "Is the emperor here to take the life of the minister?"

"Why is it so hard to kill you? This alley is full of Jinyi guards, you can't escape with your wings."

"The emperor didn't do anything immediately, he must have wanted to interrogate me first, I wonder what you want to ask?"

"You have nothing to say?"

"So the emperor wanted to hear the story. I thought you had found out." Shi Yue stretched his waist, stood up straight, and looked taller than Zhao Zhang, with a stronger physique, and he was mature in his [-]s. Steady and looks very reliable.

Zhao Zhang sat down at the side, pointed to the seat opposite and said, "Sit down and talk, I will spend the whole night tonight listening to you speak slowly."

"You want to hear it? Well, I can tell you, let you hear how hard our brothers have lived in hiding all these years, and you victors look down on us from above. Several times, we thought our lives were going to die It's the end, I didn't expect that I could sit here and talk to my fellow clansmen in the end."

Shen Jia couldn't help reminding him: "Master Shi, the emperor didn't know where you were when you were born, this is too much anger."

Zhao Zhang also emphasized: "I didn't let anyone hunt you down, and I don't even know that you are still alive, but if you have done something that endangered the Jin Dynasty, it is indeed possible to be tracked down by the government or Jin Yiwei."

Shi Yue nodded, expressing that he believed it, otherwise with Zhao Zhang's means, he wouldn't be exposed now, but he still asked curiously: "When did the emperor start to doubt me?"

"It's not a suspicion, it's just a routine investigation of the family."

"It seems that I underestimated Jin Yiwei's ability." Shi Yue began to tell the things he encountered after he became sensible. In fact, the summary is not long. Most of them are trivial things in life. The suffering is really bitter, but in retrospect, it is really satisfying.

"A few years ago, my elder brother and my master died of illness one after another, so I came up with the idea of ​​going to Beijing, because this is a place I have never set foot before. I always heard about the prosperity of Chang'an City from other people, and I always wanted to take a look. With the following things in mind, I originally planned to take part in the martial arts exam, but by fate it became a literary exam. Fortunately, my knowledge did not embarrass the royal family, and I am worthy of the careful teaching of my master and brother." After Shi Yue finished speaking, he looked at Zhao Zhang and said seriously: "I After death, can the emperor allow me to be buried with my elder brother? He is buried alone in Qingzhou, so lonely."

Zhao Zhang was indifferent, and stood up holding Shen Jia's hand, "Pretend I have never been here today. Your surname is Shi, and you are the number one scholar this year. You should be loyal to the country if you dare to stand in the court hall." , I dare to use you, as for your elder brother, you can move his tomb back to Chang'an, and I allow you to return to the imperial tomb after death."

After Zhao Zhang finished speaking, he took Shen Jia away without waiting for Shi Yue's reaction.

Shen Jia turned her head and saw Shi Yue standing in the yard blankly, the moonlight falling on him also illuminated the tears in the corners of his eyes.
